Cross-Country Skiing with CanoeSki

CanoeSki Discovery Company is an eco-adventure travel company specializing in cross-country skiing and wilderness canoeing. Cliff Speer, owner and operator, has been offering adventure training and tours for over twenty years.

Cliff welcomed Tourism Saskatchewan's blogging team and gave them a condensed version of CanoeSki’s “Learn to Ski” course at Kinsmen Park in Saskatoon. They learned all the basics; classic techniques, balance and weight transfer, double poling, etc. Even in -30 degree Celsius weather and a few face plants later, the team had a ton of fun with Cliff and you can see it all here: http://tourismsaskatchewan.tumblr.com

As their name suggests the CanoeSki Discovery Company offers both canoeing and cross-country skiing tours. If you’d like to learn more about the courses and packages they offer, including “Learn to Ski”, visit their website: www.canoeski.com.

Once you’ve had a chance to learn the proper techniques, there are many areas in and around Saskatoon with groomed trails for you to enjoy. To see this list, click here. If you’re looking for trails in another part of the province, there are hundreds of kilometres of groomed trails just waiting to be explored. For that list, click here
